Question

Divide a line segment of length 30 cm into three parts whose ratio is 5:7:3.​

Answer 1

Answer:

ratio = 5:7:3

length of line segment = 30 cm

length of three parts =

5:7:3 = 30

5x+7x+3x = 30

15x = 30

x = 30/15 = 2

1st = 2x5 = 10

2nd = 2x7 = 14

3rd = 2x3 = 6

length of 1st part is 10 cm

length of 2nd part is 14cm

length of 3rd part is 6cm

hope this helps
